Welcome to the PACE blog. We will be using this blog during the 2011-2012 school year so that we can update students, families, and schools on all of the great things we are doing at the program this year. We are very excited about the new opportunities this will provide for our program and the community.
Please take some time to look over all of our pages, which provide more information about the program and its goals. And check back often for updated PACE news, events, pictures, and more.
We would also love to hear from current students, past students, families, schools, and partners. Please feel free to contact us with feedback, comments and questions at our email: jareda@bgcmd.org

Youth Summits
PACE was lucky to participate in 2 youth summits this spring. Both sites took students to the Safe City Youth Summit on March 24th. The students enjoyed all of their sessions, and gained a lot from the experience. In addition, PACE had two instructors- Erica and Joe - present at the conference. They did a session on cooperation and group work. People in the session had to create and original invention from random items and create a 30 second infomercial for it. It was a lot of fun and the inventions were great!
Also, students at PACE East attended the National Beacon's Youth Conference on April 8th. It was put on by the Cole Beacons Program at Cole Arts and Sciences Academy, and included youth from Beacon's programs across the country. The students had a lot of fun and really enjoyed a day out of the classroom.
Joe also presented at this conference. He presented a lesson on incorporating media into teaching at the adult conference, and a lesson about transitioning into middle school at the youth conference. Both were extremely were received. Congratulations to Joe on putting together 2 amazing presentations.
We at PACE are glad to have so many great partners and great opportunities throughout the area!

Mile High Youth Corps Partnership
This year we are really excited to renew our partnership with Mile High Youth Corps. PACE students meet with MHYC students once a week for about an hour. They work together on character education, and the MHYC share their experiences with PACE students. It is a great opportunity for PACE students to make more lasting relationships with members of the community; it is also a good way to allow Corps members to reflect on their own experiences and, hopefully, help keep others from going down the same path. Our students look at the MHYC members as mentors, and they really look forward to their time with them every week.We will be posting pictures and details from our recent MHYC visits soon.
